The Twins’ third baseman will miss Opening Day and be out until May after undergoing a debridement procedure on his lacerated Achilles on Monday in Minnesota, the team said Tuesday.

“Miguel, we were tracking the care and healing of his wound,” Twins chief baseball officer Derek Falvey said. “(Trainer) Tony (Leo) and our docs spent some time over the last few days evaluating and making sure, seeing how it was and making sure it was healing. And the healing had stagnated to some degree. We felt it wasn’t healing quite as well as we had hoped.”

The team flew Sanó to the Twin Cities on Monday, then he went to the Mayo Clinic for evaluation where the decision was made for another debridement procedure, which removes damaged tissue from the wound. It’s similar to an earlier procedure Sanó had on the same injury.
